Thanks to Ruth.
A hot cup of strong tea while sitting in a comfy chair.
Long weekends.
Walking the chihuahuas with M.
A booksale.
Spending time with my nieces R and Z.
Catching up with friends.
Wandering in a botanical garden. (I am no green thumb but I can appreciate others’ fine work.)
Discovering a new author and finding that they have a great long list of work for me to read.
Writing with a fountain pen on a clear crisp sheet of blank paper. (I can’t explain the joy this gives me.)
Kookaburras.
Cats that come up to you when you walk past their home and roll over on the footpath offering their bellies to be scratched.
Completing a conference paper. (Hah! At the moment, t-r-y-i-n-g to finish a paper for this conference.)
Quiet still mornings.

love a good kitty tummy rub 🙂
I agree with you Constance, definitely giving a cat a belly tickle puts one on a high road to a happiness fix. Our recently acquired cat (stray tabby kitten turned up on our carport, starving) lets me do hubba hubbas on her belly, which gives me happiness.
Also, counting my blessings does me wonders.
Kookaburras is a good one. They are so infectious when they laugh!
I too love wandering in beautiful gardens, for the very same reason. And enjoy a new author. Good luck with the paper!
